It was a busy weekend at Sugar Factory American Brasserie as Hip-hop pioneer LL Cool J and “Extra†and “America’s Best Dance Crew†host Mario Lopez, rap mogul, Ice Cube and reality beauty, Michelle Money of ABC’s “The Bachelor†and “Bachelor Pad,†were all spotted at the sweetest spot on the Strip, Sugar Factory at Paris Las Vegas.
Lopez, who was accompanied by girlfriend Courtney Mazza, dressed in a sexy, black Bebe dress and YSL stilettos, kicked-off the entertainment fixture’s 38th birthday with a decadent feast shared with family and friends. The table noshed on ahi tuna sliders, mussels, jumbo shrimp cocktail and New York strip steaks, and sipped on Berry Bliss goblet cocktails throughout dinner.
For dessert, the heartthrob was surprised with a platter of over-the-top birthday cupcakes. The affectionate duo also playfully fed each other chocolate-covered strawberries at the end of the meal.
The couple then snuck over to the flagship Sugar Factory retail store to pick-up a few sweet treats, including Lopez’s favorite – M&M’s. While browsing the confection emporium, the children’s clothing section quickly caught their eye. Mazza and Lopez picked out two hot pink onesies for their baby daughter, Gia.
Also spotted at Sugar Factory was iconic music superstar, LL Cool J. Dressed in a head-to-toe black ensemble, LL grabbed a handful of chocolate-covered almonds before heading up to Chateau Nightclub & Gardens.
Ice Cube ducked into the candy store for a few minutes and graciously signed autographs for excited fans as he and his wife, Kimberly Woodruff, shopped for Halloween treats.
Money enjoyed a birthday dinner with a large group of attractive friends including her “Bachelor Pad†co-star, Kasey Kahl. The handsome gents and lovely ladies dined family-style as they enjoyed an array of Sugar Factory starters including bruschetta, ahi tuna sliders and fried macaroni and cheese pops, followed by the BBQ chicken pizza, tomato basil pizza, and all-American pizza, a hearty concoction made of Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, roasted onions, mozzarella and homemade red sauce.
Money was visibly touched when her friends loudly sang “Happy Birthday†as she was presented with an oversized red velvet sundae and lollipop martini. As she scooped up a second bite of the sundae, Money exclaimed, “this is amazing!†Wearing a fuchsia Bebe dress and matching Chinese Laundry platform heels, Money turned heads in our retail shop as she scooped up candy corn.
